Prachi River

Presently the parts of the modern day districts of Puri, Khurda, Cuttack and Jagatsingpur comprise the Prachi valley region.

[citation needed] The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has discovered pottery pieces, and tools made of stones and bones believed to be of the pre-Christian era from a mound in Jalalpur village of Cuttack district, Odisha.

Discoveries of ancient artefacts indicated that a rural settlement might have thrived in that period.

Prachi Valley civilisation has contributed a lot towards amalgamation, assimilation and proliferation of different religious faiths and cults.

Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi on 19 May 2022 met Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and discussed the revival of the dead Prachi river passing through Khordha, Cuttack and Puri.
